I got this from Ross Notes, he does a great job of keeping all of us DC tech folks abreast of upcoming local events with his DC Tech Events Calendar. There is going to be a Social Matchbox DC on Monday, January 28th. It sounds really cool and I want to go to check out the area startups at the very least.
Here is what they have going on:
Startup Companies:
If you are a DC area startup and are looking for staff or if you have a startup idea and need partners, this is a must-attend event. You will have the opportunity to deliver a 2-3 minute presentation about who you are, what you are looking for, and why you are the place to be (no demos).Bring a paper flyer with a photo to post so that job seekers can easily spot you. If you have marketing chum feel free to bring that too. We’ll supply posting materials and name tags.
Job Seekers:
If you want to work for or with area startup community leaders, Social Matchbox DC is your opportunity to get in the door. You will meet and hear from team members and executives from existing startups working the cutting edge of fields including: energy, health insurance, housing, music, philanthropy, search, social networking, video, web 2.0 and widgets. Many of these companies have openings in business development, design, human resources, management, marketing, public relations, quality assurance, sales, and web development.
Thanks for the heads up on the Ross.
